Undergraduate student at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. Noted especially for painful ignorance of anything Buddhist including the Four Noble Truths, The Dharma, loving kindness, etc. This is despite attending a Buddhist-inspired, contemplative school. Narotards do, however, display a remarkable knowledge of and enthusiasm for recreational drugs including alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, mescaline, mushrooms, benzodiazepenes, and a variety of opiates. While not acutely intoxicated the Narotard will suffer typical withdrawal symptoms and create interpersonal drama in an attempt to stimulate his reward system.

The Narotard came to work stressed, withdrawing, sick, miserable. He was in a blackout the night before, his fourth of the week, and injured himself. Now all he wanted was to 1) get high or 2) start a fight to distract himself from his pain.
